A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and strongly weighted strokes. The letters show a pronounced thick–thin contrast for a slab design, with crisp, flat terminals and relatively tight internal counters that keep the texture dense. Curves are broad and controlled, joins are firm, and the overall construction favors clear geometry over calligraphic softness. Numerals match the uppercase in weight and presence, producing a solid, authoritative line of figures.
Well-suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks where a strong typographic voice is needed, such as editorial layouts, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for pull quotes and subheads where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable.
The tone reads assertive and established, with a classic print feel that suggests institutional reliability. Its bold, squared detailing adds a no-nonsense, slightly industrial edge while remaining familiar and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif presence with crisp, square finishing and high-impact readability in display and editorial contexts.
The sample text shows a dark, even color at display sizes, with strong vertical emphasis and sturdy word shapes. The chunky serifs and compact apertures create a compressed, impactful texture that benefits from comfortable leading in longer settings.
